Abstract:
If is a compact group with , we show the following results:
(i)
There exist direct products of compact metric groups and continuous open surjections with respect to Haar measure; and
(ii)
the Haar measure on is Baire and at the same time Jordan isomorphic to the Haar measure on a direct product of compact Lie groups.
Applications of the above results in measure theory are given.
